only used this with linux, dont know about windows
this has ath9k chipset with full support for monitor, master, promisc and managed modes, download firmware from linuxwireless.org
lsusb shows:
" NetGear, Inc. WNA1100 Wireless-N 150 [Atheros AR9271] "
used it perfectly with linux 3.2.x series
cant make this a member of network bridges for virtual machines
did not try usb passthrough in kvm yet
Does what its supposed to do. Works with my asus n10 (150mbps) router. Shows full bars in Win 7 from 20 feet away. I guess thats okay.
You get around 8.5 - 9 mBps (thats what you actually get on wireless n 150) when you transfer files wireless between computers.
I had 3 of them from before, i got another one from flipkart and total it is 4.
For the first few days it worked fairly well, decent reception and kept the connection consistent. afterwards it does not!
I bought it together with NETGEAR DGN1000 and it will work fine with that.
my suggestion DO NOT BUY THIS! if you use OTHER THAN Netgear router
STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT TO GO with this product I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH 4 SAME ADAPTERS
THE FLIPKART REVIEWER'S WHO GOT SUPER PERFORMANCE with this USED NETGEAR ROUTER WITH THIS. I READ ALL OF THEM
Pros: NONE
> But this is the: WORST wireless adapter i have ever used.
> Gave me problems: From the moment i bought it until the moment i threw it into the trashcan (all the 4 of them i had) I would avoid this adapter.
> It only works with: Netgear routers.
> Highly UNreliable:
> I got: A better router and it keeps disconnecting, slow speed.
> These adapters: Are real cheap on the used market because everybody is dumping them.
> Random disconnects: Every hour or so, slow speeds, horrible range
> Does not: Connect to N at all if router also broadcasts b/g. and it is set to 20MHz only
> Easily Breakable: This is actually the worst-constructed product I have ever encountered, everything is held by clips inside
> Speeds: I experienced with this adapter are just pathetic.
FAQ (Solutions to your NETGER WNA1100 PROBLEMS)
Q) it keeps disconnecting!???
A) The work around to save some time on the reconnection is to unplug from computer and replug so what takes 3 mins takes 30 secondsThis happens frequently.
Q) doesnt turn on when you start up or start from sleep mode!???
A) unplug it and plug it back in to get it to power on and connect.
Q) internet sharing...OR TETHERING....or hotspot????
A) simmply wont work! tried using connectify, wont work!
Q) stopped working???
A) issue is common with this adapter.
The Delivery was fast as usual from flipcart.
About the product. I have a netgear router and this being the same company works realy well.
Got the delivery today.Took about 5mins to install the drives and i ws ready to go.
The router is about 20meters away and i still get 3 bars and the speed is awesome.
You can depend upon netgear as its the best for wireless products.However there are few more adapters that you can get at cheaper prices but they dont have the brand name.If you are looking for wireless adapter than go for this one its totally dependable and good quality.
This is one of the best wireless usb that I have used and I have tried many (none of which suited my requirements).
The best feature is the range. The previous adaptors I tried had a hard time detecting my wireless signal (my wifi router is one floor below). This one not only detected it easily but had 3 bars indicating a very stable connection.
Additionally, I have my connection setup so that it does not transmit the ssid. This adaptor detected that as well and all I had to do was provide the ssid and password (no need to setup a connection manually).
Another very useful accessory is the long usb cable with a stand provided so that you can connect the cable to ports at the back of the CPU and rest the adaptor at the front. For me this was excellent as it freed the usb ports at the front (which I require to connect my phone and hard disk). This also results in a better wifi signal.
The included CD contains the driver software which also shows the current Internet traffic, network map and other useful data.
The quality of the adaptor is also very good with a blue light which flickers when there is data transfer.
This is one of the best wireless usb that I have used and I have tried many (none of which suited my requirements).

Please consult this information for departmental recommendations about courses and advice for prospective majors. Be sure to consult with Department Chairs if you have any questions and to discuss your individual circumstances (over the Summer, please see special contact information within each departmental section).
Select the area you wish to read or scroll down to be directed toward the appropriate advice:
Africana Studies focuses on an examination and analysis of African American, other diasporan African (e.g. the Caribbean and Latin America), and continental African experiences, institutions, and perspectives. It is broadly defined as the study of peoples of Africa and the African diaspora for the purpose of improving their life opportunities. Interested students and prospective majors should choose AFS 130. For advising help, contact Prof. Jennifer Bloomquist (email@example.com).
Those interested in learning more about Anthropology should take at least one of our introductory courses, Anth 103 or Anth 106, during the first year. These courses satisfy the Social Sciences requirement of the Multiple Inquiries goal. They are also Global Understanding courses. Both are required for the major. Taking at least one of these introductory courses makes it possible to enroll in any 200-level course in subsequent semesters since either Anth 103 or Anth 106 is a prerequisite for courses at that level. Some 200-level anthropology courses are cross-listed with Asian Studies, Latin American Studies, and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Other anthropology courses may be used as electives for Africana Studies, Environmental Studies, Film Studies, or Globalization Studies. For advising help, contact Andrea Switzer (email@example.com).
Students expecting to major or minor in studio art should take ARTS 141 in their first year. There are several sections of ARTS 141 in both the fall and spring semester and some enrollment spaces have been reserved for first year students.
Students expecting to major or minor in art history should take ARTH 125 in their first year. There are several sections of ARTH 125 in both the fall and spring semester and some enrollment spaces have been reserved for first year students.
For information, please contact office administrator Karen Eskildsen firstname.lastname@example.com or call 6121.
Prospective minors in East Asian Studies should start language study with Chinese 101 or Japanese 101. See Chinese and Japanese sections as well. See online handbook.
Should I take an introductory Biology course my first semester?
YES - If you are planning to be a Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular biology (BMB) or Health Science major, are interested in the Neuroscience minor, or if you are planning to attend Medical school immediately after college. Students planning to go to Veterinary school should follow the Biology major recommendations.
Prospective majors should note that Introductory Biology and Chemistry courses are year-long sequences. In their first year, prospective majors should take Biology 111 in the fall and Biology 112 in the spring.
Since Chemistry is required for the Biology major, students who are sure of their intent to major in Biology or BMB should enroll in Chemistry 105 or 107 along with Biology 111 in the first semester. This permits a better integration of chemistry into upper level biology courses. Students may, however, delay chemistry until their second year and still complete the Biology major. A mathematics course (calculus or statistics) is required for the Biology major and should be completed in the first or second year.
OPTIONAL-with special considerations
• If you are planning on a Psychology or Environmental Studies major: These majors require 2 semesters of a natural science with labs, but you are not required to take Biology nor are you required to begin the natural science courses in your first semester. However, please note:
• Students interested in Environmental Science who plan to do the BS degree should take at least one course in either Biology (111 or 113), Chemistry (105 or 107), or Physics (103) their first semester.
• Non-Biology majors interested in Neuroscience should take Biology 110 their first semester.
• If you're planning on an Education minor, you need to take all four Biology core courses (Bio 111-112-211 and 212) for your certification.
• For students interested in other majors: All Gettysburg students need to take two science classes to graduate (and at least one of these courses must have a laboratory component). You can fulfill this goal of our curriculum by taking an introductory course in Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Studies, or Physics. You are not required to take a science class in your first semester, but it is a good idea to complete this requirement by the end of your sophomore year.
Which biology course is best for me?
Bio 101 (Basic Biology - Fall course) is geared towards non-science majors who do not intend to take Bio 112. It makes no assumption about your science background and is a stand-alone course. It has a weekly lab component.
Bio 102 (Biological basis of Disease - Spring course) is geared towards non-science majors. It makes no assumption about your science background- it has no prerequisite. It has an "every other week" lab component.
Bio 103 (Plants and Society - Spring course) is geared towards non-science majors. It makes no assumption about your science background and is a stand-alone course. It has NO lab component.
Bio 110 (Introduction to molecules and cells - Fall course) is geared towards students who are planning to major in Health sciences, minor in Neuroscience, or go into a health-related field. It assumes some HS science background and that you plan to take Bio 112. It has a weekly lab component.
Bio 111 (Introduction to ecology and evolution - Fall course) is geared towards students with a strong science background and is best suited for Biology, BMB, and Environmental Studies majors. It has a lab component.
Bio 113 (Introduction to Phage Biology - Fall course) is a research-intensive course geared towards science students. It can substitute for either Bio 110 or Bio 111 for any major/minor. It has a lab component and assumes students will also sign up for Bio 114 (Phage Genomics) concurrently with Bio 112 in the spring. Open to a limited number of students by application only.
Bio 112 (Form and Function - Spring course) is required for Biology, BMB, Health Science majors, pre-med students, and has a pre-requisite of Bio 110 or 111 or 113.
For Advising Help: contact Prof. Delesalle (firstname.lastname@example.com) or visit the Prospective student tab at the Biology Department web site.
Visit the Biology Department web site.
Students planning a major in the interdisciplinary Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program should take Biology 111 AND Chemistry 105 or 107 in the fall semester. Since Mathematics 111-112 is required for the BMB major, consideration should be given to enrolling in Math 111 during the first year. For advising help, contact Prof. Kazuo Hiraizumi (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Prof. Don Jameson (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Students planning a major in chemistry should take Chemistry 105 or 107 and Mathematics 111 or a higher level mathematics course during the fall semester. See the Department Handbook
Students interested in Chinese or prospective majors in Chinese Studies should choose Chinese 101 if they have never studied the language previously. Students who have studied Chinese in high school should follow directions about placement testing during Orientation. Over the summer, contact Paula Baer firstname.lastname@example.com for assistance; and Prof. Jing Li email@example.com when the College is in session.
There is no better place to learn about the American Civil War than Gettysburg College. CWES 205 is an excellent course for you to begin your exploration of the Civil War Era. Whether you are considering a minor in Civil War Era Studies, or you are just curious to find out more about the greatest conflict in American History, while spending four years at a site that played an important role in the war and its aftermath, CWES 205 offers an interdisciplinary introduction to the social, cultural, political and military aspects of the Civil War Era. Additionally, CWES 205 may count towards the History major. Prospective minors in Civil War Era Studies should plan to take this course as soon as their schedule allows. For advising during the summer, please contact Cathy Bain, firstname.lastname@example.com.
100-and 200-level Classics courses are appropriate for any student interested in exploring this discipline, and they also contribute to the major in Classics. These courses address the Multiple Inquiries Goal and meet the Humanities Requirement. Students with a substantial interest in Classics who have studied ancient Greek or Latin in high school, should continue their language study (see courses and placement information under Greek and Latin headings); students who have not yet studied one of these languages are advised to begin their study (Latin 101 and Greek 101, fall semester only) in the fall of their First Year or no later than Fall of Sophomore year, in order to integrate a study abroad program into their coursework in Classics. For advising help, contact the Chair, Dr. GailAnn Rickert (email@example.com).
First-year prospective majors in Computer Science (CS) should schedule CS 111-112, and Math 111 during the first year. Each course of our introductory sequence, CS 111, 112, and 216, is offered each semester, so it is possible to begin the CS major at any point through sophomore year, although a later start will limit course choices and increase scheduling constraints. Students with CS Advanced Placement (AP) scores of 4 or 5 will receive credit for CS 111 and place into CS 112. Students without such AP scores may still place out of CS 111 with permission of a CS faculty member after an informal consultation. Please note that CS 103 does not count towards CS major requirements.
CS 107, "Introduction to Scientific Computation", in an alternative to CS 111 for prospective majors in Mathematics or the Natural Sciences. Such students are strongly encouraged to take CS 107 or CS 111 rather than CS 103.
CS 103 is a lab-based, survey course of Computer Science for non-majors including a historical survey of technology and the use of computers, computer applications, software systems design, programming with scripts, computer hardware and digital logic design, and implications of computing.
To learn more about the Computer Science major, please consult any CS faculty member (x6630), the CS chair Todd Neller; x6643, or read our CS handbook
Students completing the major in economics have two degree choices – the Bachelor of Arts in Economics or the Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Economics. We strongly encourage students who wish to pursue graduate study in Economics to choose the Bachelor of Science degree option.
Prospective majors in Economics should take Economics 103 and Economics 104 in the first year, in either order. Students looking primarily to understand nation-level issues of growth, employment, and prices should take Economics 104 (macroeconomics); students looking primarily to understand individual-level decision-making, economic incentives and the role of the marketplace in society should take Economics 103 (microeconomics). These courses meet the social sciences multiple inquiries goal, and are prerequisites for 200 level courses in regional economic issues (e.g. Asia, Latin America, Africa) that meet some of the diversity curriculum goals.
Students with AP or transfer credit in Introductory Microeconomics receive credit for Economics 103 and so should first choose Economics 104, and similarly students with AP or transfer credit in Introductory Macroeconomics should first choose Economics 103. Students are also encouraged to take Econ 241 (Statistics) as early as possible. In addition, majors are required to demonstrate achievement in Mathematics by taking Math 111 or Math 105-106. It is important to satisfy this Math requirement early since it is a prerequisite for admission to some sophomore courses in the department. The Economics Department strongly recommends Math 111. Those prospective majors who need more preparation in mathematics may take instead Mathematics 105 followed by Math 106 in the spring semester. For advising help, contact Prof. Brendan Cushing-Daniels (email@example.com) or Sue Holz (email@example.com).
The Education Department offers two routes of interest for the study of Education: the Educational Studies minor (which does not include teacher certification) or the secondary and K-12 teacher certification program, which allows candidates to earn Pennsylvania state teacher licensure in selected fields. Students in either program should consider beginning their coursework in the first semester of their first year by enrolling in Education 209 or Education 201. Students enrolled in either of these courses will be assigned an Education advisor; please plan to contact your Education advisor as soon as you arrive on campus to ensure that your course of study is planned appropriately. Education classes require enrollment in a field lab (Education 060). Note that enrollment in an Education class permits you to bring a vehicle to campus to facilitate your fieldwork. Speak to your Education advisor for more information on this.
The Minor in Educational Studies: The Educational Studies minor allows students to explore education without earning teacher licensure at Gettysburg College. Students interested in earning certification in areas not offered at Gettysburg (in elementary grades, for example) are encouraged to pursue licensure as part of a Master's degree program or through alternative routes to certification. The Educational Studies minor is designed to prepare students for Master's level coursework by introducing them to education as a cultural phenomenon, explored through various disciplinary lenses (including history, philosophy, psychology and sociology) and/or academic fields of interest (such as public policy, diversity studies, or social justice).
Teacher Certification program: Students interested in teacher certification and Pennsylvania licensure should begin their programs of study during the fall semester of their first year at the College. All candidates pursuing teacher certification must take two college-level math courses, a writing course, and a course in British or American Literature within their first two years of enrollment at Gettysburg. Other courses relevant to specific certification checklists can also be taken as follows, beginning the first semester:
-Those seeking certification in secondary English should select a British or American Literature course, English 205, or a math course.
-Those seeking certification in secondary mathematics or the sciences should select Math 111 and/or a British or American literature course.
-Those seeking certification in world languages (French, German, or Spanish) should select a British or American Literature course and a math course.
-Those seeking certification in secondary social studies should select from Anthropology 103, Environmental Studies 121, Political Science 101, History 110, a math course, and/or a course in British or American literature.
For more information on the Educational Studies minor or the teacher certification program, please see the College catalog http://www.gettysburg.edu/academics/catalog/programs/education.dot
For more information, contact Professor Divonna Stebick (717.630.2977; email@example.com) in June or July.
Prospective majors in English should elect one of the First Year Seminars (FYS) which focuses on literature (FYS 165, FYS 168, FYS 178-2, FYS 183-4) or ENG 111 and ENG 113. All of these courses will fulfill the College's first-year writing requirement as well as count as an elective toward an English major or minor. If a prospective English major has exempted from the first-year writing requirement, he or she might want to begin with a foundational-level literature course (ENG 210-269).
All 200-level English literature courses (ENG 210-269) are open to any student who would like to study English or American literature; there are no pre-requisites for these courses. All 200-level literature courses fulfill the Multiple Inquiries Humanities requirement. ENG 201 Writing the Public Essay is open in the fall to any student who has been exempted from the first-year writing requirement.
For advising help, contact Linda Miller (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Prospective majors and minors should take ES 196 as soon as possible, preferably in the first year. Note that ES 121 and most other 100-level ES courses are designed for non-majors and typically do not count toward the ES major. Students interested in the Bachelors of Science degree should take two semesters of a basic natural science in their first year (Bio 111-112 or 113-114, or Chem 105 or 107-108, or Phys 103-104, 109-110, or 111-112). Sophomores should take as many core courses as possible (ES 211, 223, 225, and 230). For more information, read the full major/minor requirements. For advising help, please contact Professor Rud Platt.
All students who have previously studied French and wish to continue the language MUST take a placement test and register at the level they placed at. If you are unable to sign-up for a class but really would like to take it, you need to place yourself on the wait-list. We should know by August if we are able to accommodate students in that situation. Placement in French 300 is only reflective of a good level in French language and does not suggest knowledge of theoretical concepts. These will be taught in subsequent French classes (305, 310 etc.). It is thus not unusual for First-Year students to be placed in FR300 and do very well. Prospective French majors should have completed French 300 by their Sophomore year to ensure smooth planning for study abroad. Those who have never taken French before and would like to start at Gettysburg College must register in French 101 which meets five days a week. If you have questions, please contact Sue Welsh (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Prospective majors should take German 301 in the fall, pending placement at that level, but those who begin with German 201 can still schedule the remaining coursework for the major program without difficulty. A department placement test will be required of all students enrolling in German except for those who have never studied German before. German 101 is appropriate for the true beginner and meets five days a week. If you have questions, please contact the Department Chair, Prof. Laurel Cohen-Pfister (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Prospective majors must take all four foundation courses: Anthropology 103, Economics 101 or Economics 104, History 110, and either POL 103 or POL 104. These may be taken in any order and ideally should be completed by the end of the second year. Students should be aware of the fact that because they design their regional and thematic tracks for this major, they must complete an application for the major. THE APPLICATION IS AVAILABLE ON THE GLOBALIZATION STUDIES WEBSITE. For advising help, contact Prof. DONNA PERRY (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Beginning Greek (ancient) 101-102 (fall-spring) are appropriate for students who have never studied ancient Greek or who have studied ancient Greek previously but need to firm up fundamental grammar, syntax, and vocabulary in preparation for intermediate reading courses. To integrate a study abroad program into their course work, students are advised to complete at least Greek 101-102 by the end of their second year. Students who wish to continue their study of ancient Greek (or are interested in Classics) should consult with the Chair, Dr. GailAnn Rickert (firstname.lastname@example.com) about appropriate placement.
Prospective majors in Health Sciences should take Bio 110 in the fall and Bio 112 in the spring. Students interested in the Health Sciences B.A. major should take HS 112 in either the fall or spring semester. HS 112 is not required for the Health Sciences B.S. major. For more information, see the Department's web site.
All 100 and 200- level courses have no pre-requisites and fulfill the Humanities requirement for the Multiple Inquiries Goal. Many of these courses also fulfill the Global Understanding, Conceptualizing Diversity, or STS requirements. Prospective majors should take a 100-level or 200 level course. FY students can take 300 level courses only with permission of the instructor. For advising help, contact Rebecca Barth (email@example.com).
Courses listed in the College Catalogue under the category of Interdisciplinary Studies involve subject matter and methods of study from more than one discipline or department. All courses with an IDS indicator, except courses numbered IDS 450-499, address the Integrative Thinking Goal through the Interdisciplinary courses option. 200-level courses without prerequisites are appropriate for First Year students. Students may create their own majors, normally in their sophomore year, through the Individual Major Program administered by the Interdisciplinary Studies Committee. For advising help, contact Cindy Helfrich (firstname.lastname@example.com), Prof. Marta Robertson (email@example.com), or consult the departmental webpage http://www.gettysburg.edu/academics/ids
International Affairs (IA) is offered only as a dual major; therefore, it must be combined with another major. Students must apply and be accepted into the program. Applications are available on the IA website. Students must also have chosen their other major at the time of their application. Students must have at least a 2.60 GPA in their other major and the general curriculum to be considered for the program and to remain in it. Most students apply in the second semester of the first year or in their sophomore year. In the first and second year, students should take Economics 103 & 104, Political Science 103, and History 110. For advising help, contact Prof. Donald Borock, Director of IA (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Prof. Eileen Stillwaggon (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The Italian Studies Major consists of twelve courses which includes Italian 201 and 202; five courses at the 300 level taught in Italian and five courses at the 200 level taught in English. Students who pursue the Italian Studies Major must spend a semester of study in Italy. The Italian Studies Minor consists of five courses above IT 202, at least two of which must be at the 300 level taught in Italian. We highly encourage, but do not oblige, our students interested in the Italian Studies Minor to study in Italy for a semester. If you wish to schedule Italian, but are unable to register for a section matching your language placement results, you can contact the Department Chair, Prof. Alan Perry via email at email@example.com. For more information on our Italian Studies Minor and Major, please consult the information at http://www.gettysburg.edu/academics/italian/programs/major_minor.dot
Students interested in Japanese or prospective majors in Japanese Studies should choose Jpn 101 if they have never studied the language previously. Students who have studied Japanese in high school should follow directions about placement testing during Orientation. Over the summer, contact Paula Baer email@example.com for assistance; and Prof. Eleanor Hogan (email@example.com) when the College is in session.
Beginning Latin 101-102 (fall-spring) are appropriate for students who have never studied Latin or who have studied Latin previously but need to firm up fundamental grammar, syntax, and vocabulary in preparation for intermediate reading courses. Students who have had only one or two years of high school Latin may enroll in Latin 101 in the fall without taking the placement test. Students who wish to continue their study of Latin (or are interested in Classics) and have had three or more years of Latin study in high school should take the online Placement Exam. Without previous college level course work, students may enroll in Latin 102, 201, 202, or 300-level courses only after completing the placement exam. To integrate a study abroad program into their course work, students are advised to complete at least Latin 101-102 by the end of their second year. Students who wish to continue their study of Latin (or are interested in Classics) should consult with the Chair, Dr. GailAnn Rickert (firstname.lastname@example.com) about appropriate placement.
First-year students wishing to pursue the combined Latin American Studies-Spanish major, or the Latin American Studies minor, should take the Spanish placement test and sign up for the appropriate level Spanish-language course. (Minors can fulfill the language requirement with a demonstrated proficiency in Spanish, French, or Portuguese.) Prospective majors and minors should consider taking FYS 133-2, or FYS 199-3. Sign up for LAS 140 Introduction to Latin America: Social Sciences or LAS 147 Introduction to Latin America; Cultural Studies, any of these fulfill the required introduction to Latin American Studies for majors and are strongly recommended for minors. Students should contemplate studying abroad in Latin America on a college-affiliated program (required for majors) second semester sophomore year or during their junior year.
Sophomore students should continue their language studies and take (LAS 140 Introduction to Latin America: Social Sciences or LAS 147 Introduction to Latin America; Cultural Studies, if they have not done so already, and then move on to 200-level course. Note: Since LAS is a multidisciplinary program, many courses are cross-listed with other departments.
The Department of Management offers a major in Organization and Management Studies and a minor in Business.
Organization and Management Studies
Prospective majors in Organization and Management Studies will need to take Psychology 101 or Sociology 101 in their first year. The earliest a student may take OMS 111 is the spring semester of their first year because of the Psychology or Sociology pre-requisite.
Students considering OMS as a major must complete OMS 111, OMS 235, and OMS 270 by the end of their sophomore year. OMS 235 is restricted to first and second year students. For advising help, contact Prof. Bennett Bruce during his open office hours on Wednesday or Friday from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. or Sally Roelke (firstname.lastname@example.com). The department of Management is located on the 4th floor of Glatfelter Hall.
Business Minor
Prospective minors in Business should take Economics 103 in their first year. Students interested in business should visit Prof. Bruce during his open office hours on Wednesday or Friday from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. or Sally Roelke (email@example.com). The department of Management is located on the 4th floor of Glatfelter Hall.
For advising help, contact Prof. Bennett Bruce (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The Department of Mathematics does not have a placement exam. Rather, we believe that students should self-place themselves into the class that best fits their background and interests with help from their advisor and other faculty in our department. Students considering a mathematics course should refer to the Mathematics Placement Guidelines to determine the appropriate placement or consult with a member of the department at 717-337-6630 or email (email@example.com).

Ensemble directors complete the ensemble registration once auditions are over and the ensemble rosters are finalized.
Information for All Incoming Students
We also offer courses that fulfill the goals of the Gettysburg Curriculum for students who are undecided or in other majors. In 2012-13 these include: MUS_CLAS 101 (sections of Introduction to Music Listening: Classical Survey or History of Rock), 102 (World Music), 110 (Jazz: Evolution of America's Music), 251 (Music of the Caribbean) For advising help, contact Prof. Kay Hoke (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Students are encouraged to consider an introductory course in Philosophy early in their college career as an opportunity to enlarge their intellectual perspective and develop skills in reasoning and argument. It would be helpful for prospective majors to take either 101, 105, 107, 110, FYS 132-2, FYS 133, or FYS 134 in their first year, although many majors have little problem completing major requirements after beginning a course of study in the sophomore year. A 100-level course is a pre-requisite for all 200- and 300-level courses in philosophy, and anyone who has taken any 100-level course in philosophy should feel encouraged to consider all other course offerings in the department. For advising help, contact Prof. Steve Gimbel (firstname.lastname@example.com).
PHYSICS and DUAL-DEGREE ENGINEERING
Students planning to major in Physics should take Physics 111 and Mathematics 111 or a higher level mathematics course. Candidates for the Dual-Degree Engineering Program interested in majoring in physics while at Gettysburg College should take Physics 111 and Mathematics 111; students interested in Chemical Engineering and a chemistry major should take Chemistry 107 and Mathematics 111; other non-physics-major dual-degree candidates should take Physics 109 and Mathematics 111. All dual-degree candidates should take a second language, English 101, or 111, or First Year Seminar that is writing intensive which satisfies the effective communication goal, or Economics 103 or 104 in the first semester. Dual-degree candidates should also give thought in the first year to which of the fifteen engineering majors they wish to pursue. For advising help, contact Prof. Bret Crawford (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Advice about intro Physics courses:
- 101: For non-science majors; does not count toward the Physics major
- 103: For Biology, Environmental Studies, Health Science majors, algebra-based course; sophomore status required; does not count toward the Physics major
- 109: For Chemistry and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology majors, calculus-based course; sophomore status required; does not count toward the Physics major
- 111: for Physics and Engineering dual degree majors, calculus-based course
Any student may enroll in Political Science 101,102,103 or 104. Prospective majors must take three of these introductory courses which are intended to introduce the student to the major fields of political science. They may be taken in any order, but should be completed by the end of the fourth semester. The political science department also encourages majors to take Pol 215 (Methods in Political Science) by the end of their sophomore year. For advising help, contact Karen Goldberg (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Prof. Don Borock (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Public Policy: Students interested in the Public Policy Major would benefit from taking one of the following courses: POL 101 (American Government), POL 104 (Comparative Politics), ECON 103 (Microeconomics), ECON 104 (Macroeconomics), or PHIL 105 (Contemporary Moral Issues).
Students planning to attend medical school immediately after college should have completed Biology 110-112, (or Biology 111-112 if majoring in Biology), Chemistry 107-108, Chemistry 203-204, and Physics 103-104 (or 109-110, or 111-112), by the end of the junior year. This will prepare students to take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) at this time. In order to keep this rigorous schedule, students should give careful consideration to planning their first year courses. While medical schools require that a student must have taken these courses to gain admission, they do not require any particular major.
Prospective majors may elect to take Psych 101 in either the fall or spring. Prospective majors would hope to complete Psych 205 by the end of the Sophomore year. Enrollment in Psych 205 is limited to declared Psychology majors. MAJORS MUST ALSO COMPLETE TWO LABORATORY COURSES IN THE DIVISION OF NATURAL SCIENCES FROM AMONG THOSE THAT WILL SATISFY THE NATURAL SCIENCE REQUIREMENT. Students who have received a 4 or better on the Psychology Advanced Placement Exam may consider registering for 200-level classes in the fall. For advising help, contact Prof. Stephen Siviy (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The Department of Religious Studies focuses on the global, cross-cultural, and academic study of religion. We offer an array of courses that introduce students to major religious traditions of the world, such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, and the religions of America. All courses in the Department fulfill the one-course requirement in the Humanities. Many courses also fulfill the one-course requirement in Global Understanding, while other courses fulfill the one-course requirement in Conceptualizing Diversity. Although there are no prerequisites for any 100- or 200-level course, we encourage prospective majors and minors to take Religion 101 early in their career. The Department strongly recommends Study Abroad programs and counts toward the major or minor work completed abroad. We also offer a Judaic Studies minor and are related to the Peace and Justice Studies minor. See the Department's website for details. For summer advising help contact the Dept. Chair, Prof. Stephen Stern at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sociology 101(or SOC 102 or 103, which are equivalent to 101) is appropriate for any student interested in exploring this discipline and meets the Social Science requirement for the Multiple Inquiries Goal. Students interested in majoring in Sociology should take Soc 101 during the first year since it is a prerequisite for almost all other Sociology courses. Sociology majors planning to study abroad during the junior year should ideally complete Sociology 101, at least two 200 level Sociology courses, and one of the 300 level sociology courses by the end of the sophomore year. For advising help, contact Andrea Switzer (firstname.lastname@example.com )
Prospective majors should take Spanish 301 in the fall, or as soon as possible, pending placement at that level. Those who begin at a lower level can still schedule the remaining coursework for the major program without difficulty, but should consult with the Spanish Department for advising. All students who have previously studied Spanish for more than a year MUST take the Spanish placement test. Those who have studied one year or less MAY take the placement test or enroll in Spanish 103. Spanish 101 is reserved for students who have never studied Spanish; it meets five days a week. If you have questions, contact Becky Best (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Theatre is a vital part of the liberal arts education which Gettysburg College offers. Rooted in a sound academic program and fed by rigorous course offerings, it flowers in a variety of productions. You are encouraged to take one or more of the following theatre courses during your first year: Theatre Arts 105, Introduction to the Theatre (fall/spring); Theatre Arts 115, Theatre Production (fall); Theatre Arts 116, Introduction to Costume Design (fall); Theatre Arts 120, Fundamentals of Acting (fall/spring); Theatre Arts 204, History of Theatre Arts (spring); Theatre Arts 212, Fundamentals of Directing (fall); Theatre Arts 215, Fundamentals of Stage Design (spring); First Year Seminar 128-2, Shakespeare: Then and Now (fall).

Baseball analysts don't agree on a lot. But for months just about everyone has said that this class of free agents is weak, and that Zack Greinke is the best guy in it.
In other words, it's a great time to be Greinke.
But how about the team that signs Greinke? Is this a great time to spend top-of-the-market money on the best pitcher available?
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
From all indications, someone — probably the Dodgers, given baseball's new pecking order — is going to give Greinke one of the biggest contracts ever for a pitcher, maybe even the biggest. The Nationals, Angels and Rangers also are chasing Greinke, so it's possible the deal will top the seven years, $161 million the Yankees gave CC Sabathia four years ago.
Look for the splash to be made this week, when teams and reporters gather in Nashville, Tenn., for the winter meetings. But it should surprise no one if the signing turns out to be more of a cannonball than a stylish, world-class dive.
The rush to sign Greinke, and the prices being discussed, are about a few things: The potential he flashed as a 20-year-old on a 104-loss Royals team, when he made 24 starts and held the American League to a 3.97 earned-run average; the Cy Young season he had in 2009, when his WAR was an eye-popping 10.1, and a fastball that, according to Fangraphs, still averages 92.3 (although it has dropped from 93.7 when he won the Cy Young.)
Greinke turned 29 in October, sitting out the playoffs like the two teams he failed to carry there (the Angels and post-Prince Fielder Brewers), yet when he signs you will hear the Dodgers' Ned Colletti or another general manager talk about how he's only now coming into his own. They will say he can be better the next five years than he was the last five — and for the deal that Greinke can get, he better be.
The only problem is that unless you're Greg Maddux going to the Braves at age 27, baseball doesn't work that way. Maddux had won his first Cy Young the year he reached free agency, yet somehow he was under-rated. Greinke seems over-rated by traditional and modern analytical breakdowns.
He's 91-78 with a 3.77 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 8.0 strikeouts per nine innings over 1,492 career innings. Yet somehow he's a buzz guy and the highly skilled Mark Buehrle never was. When Buehrle was at Greinke's current level of big-league service, he was a year older (entering his age-30 season) and had gone 122-87 with a 3.31 ERA, a 1.27 WHIP and 5.3 strikeouts per nine innings over 1,8472/3 innings.
Buehrle was one year into a four-year, $56-million deal with the White Sox, and few Chicago fans blinked when the team allowed him to jump to the Marlins three years later. You better believe that had a lot to do with a fastball that had decreased from 90-91 to 85-86.
And Sabathia himself? The over-sized left-hander had gone 117-73 with a 3.66 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 7.6 strikeouts per nine innings over 1,6591/3 innings when he was at the same point in his career that Greinke is now.
In terms of WAR, Greinke has produced only 28.1 for his career (including that 10.1 in 2009). At this point in their careers, Buehrle had generated 33.6; Sabathia, surprisingly, only 27.3.
While Greinke has thrown 202-plus innings in four of the last five years, he hasn't been as much of a workhorse as Buehrle or Sabathia. Does that mean he has more left in the tank?
Someone is going to say that, for sure. But consider that at the point in their careers where Greinke is now, both Sabathia and Buehrle declined in WAR over a four-year period compared to their totals in the previous four years (Buehrle, from 16.6 to 15.3; Sabathia, from 15.3 to 13.3).
Sabathia pretty much justified his Yankee deal when he and Alex Rodriguez carried the 2009 Yankees to the championship they had chased since Game 7 in 2001. The mandate for Greinke is to do that for his new team next year, as these windows close quickly. The nine-figure contract and oversized headlines won't help him, unfortunately.
Layaway plan: Given the Twins' need to improve a rotation that ranked last in the American League with a 5.40 ERA, many of their fans were underwhelmed with the return they received when they traded center fielder Denard Span to the Nationals. But executives with other teams were impressed that general manager Terry Ryan landed 21-year-old right-hander Alex Meyer, who has No. 1 starter potential.
"This guy, even though he has been in pro ball a short time, has first-round status," Ryan told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "He's out of the University of Kentucky, highly touted. These guys are hard to get, and if you are going to get them, it's going to be in the low to mid-minors. Once they get up to Double A or Triple A, they are almost impossible to get."
Span will be a good fit in center for the Nationals, who have pursued him for more than a year. He's a .284 career hitter who controls the strike zone and runs well.
"His skill set is something we were looking for, we have been looking for a couple years," Nationals GM Mike Rizzo said. "We're talking about a true defensive ball hawk, center field type of guy with great range. He's the consummate leadoff type of hitter. He appeals greatly to us for his skill set as an offensive player."
Role model: Fearing that Marvin Miller wouldn't be around much longer, Scott Boras made it a point to spend some time with him. The super agent went to New York for an audience with the labor leader last March, and wasn't too proud to take some notes.

Casa Teatro Massimo is an EXCELLENT place to stay in Palermo. It's an extremely charming and homey apartment. It's private, and you feel like you live in Sicily. The apartment is located in the heart of old Palermo, so you're near amazing restaurants, architecture, and all sites are easily within walking distance. Nicoletta, the manager of the property, was EXTREMELY helpful: she even arranged an inexpensive driver to go to the small town where our ancestors were from and her English was great!

I stayed in the Mascagni apartment with other two people. The apartment is very good. There is a kitchen with all the related facilities. The beds are very comfortable and the restroom is big and nice. The location is perfect: CasaTetatroMassimo hostel is in fact in front of the Teatro Massimo, in the main center of Palermo and close to all the city main attractions. The price/quality ratio is very convenient. Cannot imagine a better place to stay in Palermo

Sorry for my late comment. The apartment is perfect considering this unbeatable price. TThe location is perfect. We made a stupid mistake on not able to use the stove, but the owner was so patient to come to help us. The owner is clearly an expert on house-keeping. From all the kitchen utensils to even a first aid kit, you can find them in this tiny flat!

I'd stay here again.

Most folks are ignorant but soem of the posts below go beyond that. Jordan didn't take max contract to keep Pippen around and bring guys like Dennis Rodman and Tony Kukoc. None of the great players won a championship or even made it to the championship themselves except A.i. and LeBron. Get a clue folks.
LeBron James: Players will have to take discount for superteams to survive
By Rob Mahoney
The NBA's new collective bargaining agreement has already eroded the core of a championship team in Dallas, encouraged Oklahoma City to trade a star in James Harden and provided the impetus for the deal that moved Rudy Gay from Memphis to Toronto. Although those same rules didn't deter the Lakers or Nets from hoarding talent in an effort to make their own superteams, the financial penalties and opportunity costs involved make the maintenance and improvement of those high-salary rosters that much more difficult.
But LeBron James — world's greatest basketball player, global icon and apparently renowned idea man — has a solution that makes the superteam concept oddly viable in a less accommodating financial climate. From Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com:
The Heat, however, would be subject to what is known as the "repeater" tax starting in 2014-15 if they keep James, [Dwyane] Wade and [Chris] Bosh together because they would be over the luxury tax for four years in a row. In that case, they would pay a tax rate that is currently more than four times the current dollar-for-dollar rate. James, Wade and Bosh do have opt-out clauses in their contracts in the summer of 2014, however.
"I think teams understand that you need three guys to do big things; the big three thing is pretty cool if you can get it," James said. "To keep teams like this together you may have to take even less because of the new CBA. I guess we'll find out."
Honestly: It's that simple. There's really nothing but wage maximization standing in the way of players teaming up in the city of their choosing. There is the pragmatic problem of an individual with a limited earning window turning down millions of dollars, but, in theory, a group of players could forego max contract potential for the sake of building a truly special core. NBA players (and pro athletes in general) are often generalized as being greedy and selfish, but the concept of individual sacrifice for the sake of team construction is nothing new. We've seen the Tim Duncans and Dirk Nowitzkis of the world take sub-max extensions before in order to facilitate roster renovation, and this current Heat core — "Hollywood" though they may be — also sacrificed for the sake of building a contender. Again, via Windhorst:
James and teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all took less than the maximum salary when they signed three years ago. That should enable the Heat to keep them together next season, even with the new tax rules. James doesn't think they have gotten credit for that decision.
"I have not had a full max deal yet in my career — that's a story untold," James said.
"I don't get [the credit] for it. That doesn't matter to me, playing the game is what matters to me. Financially, I'll sacrifice for the team. It shows for some of the top guys, it isn't all about money. That's the genuine side of this, it's about winning. I understand that."
If the best player in the league (not to mention two of the top five players and three of the top 15 or so, circa 2010) was willing to leave money on the table in order to join the best team possible, I wouldn't bet against the prospect of the upcoming generation of stars doing more of the same. Most of today's top young players are obsessively focused on basketball, to the point where their entire lives are dictated by rigorous diets, never-ending workout regimens and consistent film study. How can we praise the Kevin Durants and Derrick Roses of the world for their commitment and humility, and then assume that stars of their personality and ilk wouldn't sacrifice for the sake of a more complete team?
As Tom Ziller explains in a column for SB Nation, the era of the superteam isn't gone at all — the terms have merely changed. The Lakers and Nets are still sitting on massive payrolls, and the dream around the league is still to replicate what the Heat have accomplished through whatever means possible. It might take a bit more creativity (or a bit more selflessness) than before, but a stiffer luxury tax won't deter franchises from pursuing as many star players as they can get their mitts on.
@ bill: did you slob on lebrons dlck all by yourself?
LeClown took a pay cut because he needed better players around him to win. He in essence bought himself a ring. He did nobody any favors besides the Heat and himself. Trying to create a superteam just says that he does not think he is good enough by himself.
If Jordan had taken a pay cut to go to the Lakers it just would have been sad, not something to be proud of.
I like the way LBJ tries to promote himself as a great guy for taking less and we should praise him for that. He took less to get superstars to play with him and he makes all his real money from indorsements. I have more respect for Kobe for bringing people to play with him (even though LA sucks)
@SukMadiq Did you come up with "LeClown" all by yourself?

LENOIR, N.C. -- A Democratic political strategist stabbed in her Raleigh home has died.
Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue said Wednesday that 31-year-old Jonathan Broyhill has been arrested. Broyhill had been charged with attempted murder prior to the death of 29-year-old Jameson Kirk Hahn at WakeMed.
Sughrue said the department would seek to have that charge withdrawn and present "probable cause for an arrest warrant charging him with murder."
Broyhill is accused of stabbing Hahn and her husband, 29-year-old Nation Richard Hahn, at their home Monday evening. A wedding announcement in a South Carolina newspaper listed Broyhill as the best man at the couple's wedding in April 2009.
Broyhill grew up in Lenoir, and attended West Caldwell High School.
Robert Chambers has been the Broyhill's neighbors for more than 30 years. His children often played in the front yard with Broyhill's when they were young.
"It's hard for me to think of Jonathan doing something like that. Something bad had to have happened for him to do something like that because he was a good young man, he really was. I hate to hear this," said Chambers.
A memorial service is planned for Jameson Hahn on Saturday in Raleigh.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Can't say enough good things about Bellalaser @ 86 street; I have done several treatments for my face, bikini and thighs. Have seen unreal results in a short amount of time.The staff is so great and knowledgable. Look at their machines and research them yourself and see they only use the best. I say this because when I first went to a dermatologist to have laser done, I knew nothing. It hurt like hell and the results sucked. A Real life changer. Unfortunately, I cant say the same about the location @ 680 manhattan Ave, results are good because they have the same equipment but their customer service is horrible; I have done 2 treatments there and I am very disappointed. The technicians are in a rush to get you out of there, they don't ask the basic questions before treatments. It drives me crazy that I called to schedule my appointments and they booked me wrong both times, they are very disorganized and they spoke in polish the entire time while I was being ignored completely in the front. Plain and simple, they don't care about customers or the place they work for so if you want to have a good experience by all means go to the 86 street location.
I am currently doing my back, my chest and shoulders, sometimes hurts but its worth it, I don't have to shave often and I see the hair getting thinner, i used to shave every week and now i shave every other month.
Best place for laser and microdermabrasion treatments in green-point. The nurses are very friendly, the place is always clean and I am very happy with the laser results. Keep the good work !!
I did my first laser treatment yesterday with Elin, I was very scared, I have heard all the scary stories about laser but reality is I needed this treatment desperately; she was really fast and professional. She took the time to explain to me everything and she was very patient, (I did multiple areas), the place was very clean and all the staff was friendly. I came in without an appointment and she did her best to accommodate me. Thank you.
I have to say, that I am very impressed with the results. I did 6 treatments for different areas on my body and i have very little hair left.
The estheticians are amizing, everyone is friendly, they explained to me what to expect after each treatment and what to do at home to get good results, the store is super clean but most important they know what they are doing !!!. I have been to a lot of laser places in Bayridge and so far this one is my favorite.
They lied me about the time it take to complete I was told 6-12 sessions . I did over 18 sessions and the hair is still growing. After 4 years of very painfully treatment that cost me thousands Of dollars I am still shaving!!!!
Bellalaser @ 680 Manhattan ave – Ok, so here is an update on my treatment ... I have done 7 treatments so far and I LOVE IT !!! it took about 6 treatments for me to see results but now i can see it did work. I guess you do need to be patient, I still have some hair left but nothing compared to what I used to have. Wiolet has done all my treatments and its great to see the change. It is so good that I ended up buying more areas, its not a joke when they tell you is addictive!! Thank you so much !!!
I've had 6 treatments then they made me to buy another 6 and no results at all whatsoever . I guess they don't know how to use the laser or the laser is very old
I never had Laser Hair removal before. I am telling you this place is great. Love it. I would recommend this place to anyone. It is clean and the technicians are wonderful. If you live in Brooklyn or any place else in New York area go there.
Fantastic on every count – My experience at Bellalaser was wonderful and I couldn't recommend them more highly. At the time of my consultation, I didn't know anything about laser, I am an older woman who had ben waxing for the past 20 years!. Elin my technician was extremely professional and knowledgeable. On the day of my consultation, it took her over 30 minutes (literally) to make me understand how the laser works and how I have to do my treatments. I am so thankful for that. The treatments have been very successful and the atmosphere is great too. It's been incredibly liberating to have completely smooth skin after decades of having coarse, dark hair covering the whole of my legs. It's life changing.

Fact: Most women will live longer than their male counterparts. Why? There are several reasons but
one of the biggest is the way many men approach their own healthcare. Men are less likely to maintain a regular schedule of health checks and more likely to wait before seeking medical attention when symptoms arise.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, affects one in every three people in the United States; it causes or worsens severe health concerns like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and diabetes; and it's nearly symptomless until the damage to arteries and
the body is done. That's a big problem for everyone, but especially for men who aren't proactive about their own healthcare.
What's normal? What's high? And what do the numbers mean? Normal blood pressure is less than 120/80, with 120 representing the systolic pressure, or the pressure of your blood against the walls of your arteries when your heart beats, and 80 representing
diastolic pressure, or pressure between heart beats. Anything over 120/80 is considered prehypertensive and hypertension begins at 140/90. Medications are prescribed and recommended for blood pressures starting at 139/89.
If you've heard the words "high blood pressure" in your doctor's office, the time to make important lifestyle changes has come. If you're prehypertensive, these lifestyle changes can help reverse the rise.
Philip Krause, MD, Cardiologist and Director of the Section of Cardiology at NorthShore's Skokie Hospital, shares his recommendations for simple changes to make now:
Do you worry about your blood pressure levels? How do you keep it in check?
The warmer temperatures of late spring and summer mean more outdoor family time, from BBQs to pool parties, but it's
important to make sure that time is safe for you and your kids. Most of us know to practice vigilant sun safety during the hottest months of the year, when the sun's rays are at their most intense, but sometimes we forget it's also very important to protect
against dangerous insect bites. Warm temperatures are just as appealing to insects as they are to Chicagoans ready to leave a long winter behind.
Most mosquito bites are irritating but otherwise harmless; however, some mosquitoes can transmit encephalitis and West Nile virus, which can cause severe illness with symptoms like headache, high fever and bodily weakness. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease,
which can be treated if recognized early, so look for flu-like symptoms and possible rashes. Left untreated, Lyme disease can cause joint and muscle pain, fatigue, heart problems and neurological issues.
Felissa Kreindler, MD, Pediatrician at NorthShore, shares her tips for preventing insect bites and protecting against the illnesses
they can cause all summer long:
How do you protect your family from summer insect bites?
Increasingly more women are waiting until later in life to start families. And while there are many benefits to postponing
motherhood, there are some health risks that increase as a woman ages.
What are the risks? Starting in their mid-30s, women face an increased risk for miscarriage, fetal chromosomal abnormalities, high blood pressure, gestational diabetes, placental abruption, preeclampsia, early labor and are more likely to require a cesarean.
It's important to remember that these are risks all women, no matter their age, face during pregnancy. While every woman's pregnancy is unique, older moms-to-be often face some unique challenges. Knowing what challenges might arise and how to reduce your
risk increases the likelihood you'll enjoy a happy and healthy pregnancy.
Scott MacGregor, DO, Maternal-Fetal Medicine at NorthShore, shares his tips for staying healthy throughout your pregnancy:
Are you waiting until later to start your family? When did you have your first child?
There are two types of stroke: ischemic, which occur as the result of a blockage inside a blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain, and hemorrhagic, which occur when a blood vessel ruptures and causes bleeding in the brain. When the brain does not
receive a continuous supply of blood, brain cells die. Time is of the utmost importance in the treatment of stroke, and yet many do not call 911 when stroke symptoms arise.
Deborah Lynch, Advance Practice Nurse and Stroke Coordinator at NorthShore, answered our questions on stroke, including signs, risk factors, recovery and more, to raise awareness that stroke is a brain attack and a medical emergency. Don't
ignore the signs.
What are the signs of a stroke? Are there early signs that might go unnoticed or ignored?
We teach the public to be F.A.S.T., which stands for facial droop, arm and/or leg weakness/numbness, speech/language difficulty and the T is for timing, which means getting medical attention as soon as possible. More subtle signs of stroke
would be similar to the ones listed above but possibly not as pronounced. For instance, if a person notices sudden weakness of his arm and leg on the same side, though he is able to use them, that is still a sign of stroke and it warrants emergent medical
attention. The real problem with stroke and public awareness is there usually is no pain associated with stroke so people wait and see if the symptoms will go away. Time is of essence!
Why is it so important to get medical attention fast?
Brain cells (neurons) die within seconds of not receiving oxygenated blood. The faster a person with stroke symptoms gets to the hospital the better. A person may be candidate for our only FDA-approved treatment for acute stroke: tPA (alteplase). But, this
can only be administered if symptom onset is less than 3-4.5 hours from time of drug administration. Stroke is a medical emergency. Call 911.
What happens after the hospital phase of stroke recovery?
Once the patient is medically stable, they will often go to either a sub-acute rehabilitation facility or an in-patient rehabilitation facility as the next level of care. Both include physical, occupational and speech therapy but in-patient requires that a
patient can tolerate at least three hours of therapy in a given day. Often, patients who have a lot of deficits are unable to withstand this level of therapy at the beginning. In those cases, sub-acute rehab is the next best place. Patients will be able to
get upwards of two hours of therapy a day but it is much more dependent on patient's endurance. Typical length of stay times are variable and depend on how well or poorly a patient is doing.
After a stroke, how long can patients continue to improve?
Improvement can continue a year from the stroke but improvement is not as dramatic as during the first 3-12 months. That said, people who have language difficulties from stroke have been known to improve for years afterward.
Is a younger stroke patient likely to have a better recovery than someone who is older?
Stroke can happen at any age and when it comes to stroke age is relative. Someone can have a more severe stroke as a younger person than an older person. Usually the younger patients have fewer chronic health issues though. If you are in poor health before
a stroke, it's more difficult to recover primarily because there is less reserve. That said, I have seen quite large strokes in an elderly population with good outcomes. The brain is a very complex organ and everyone really recovers differently. On the whole,
after a stroke, people improve. Where one can functionally get to remains unknown.
If there is a family history of stroke and high blood pressure, what can you to do prevent stroke.
Regular aerobic exercise and healthy eating are terrific approaches to what we refer to as "primary stroke prevention." Hypertension, or high blood pressure (typically greater than 130/85), is the number one risk factor for stroke. If you do have high blood
pressure, make sure to treat it. Do not delay. Hypertension is a "silent killer." People usually don't feel any different with high blood pressure.
What's a "mini stroke"? Can it lead to a more severe stroke?
Mini stroke is a term we in the stroke field would like to do away with. It has been used in the past to refer to
TIA (transient ischemic attack). This is an event with stroke-like symptoms that usually resolves itself within minutes. The problem with this term is that it sounds almost cute and harmless. In actuality, it carries the same risk of future
stroke as an actual stroke. TIAs are definitely warning signs of stroke. We take these events very seriously with the hope of identifying a person's stroke risk factors and reduce them as much as possible to hopefully prevent a stroke in the future. These
preventative measures include lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.
In addition to healthy eating and exercise, is an aspirin regimen recommended after a TIA?
We recommend at least aspirin 81mg (baby aspirin) or plavix 75mg after a person has had a TIA, especially if there is a history of diabetes, unless there is known contraindication.
The importance of a good night's sleep can't be overstated and not getting enough can lead to more than simply waking up on the wrong side of
the bed. Prolonged sleep deprivation can raise your risk for serious health problems like heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. Sleep isn't a waste of time; it's an investment in your health.
The benefits of sleep are many. According to
Thomas Freedom, MD, Neurologist and Program Director of Sleep Medicine at NorthShore, a good night's rest can improve:
Remember that the amount of sleep required varies with each individual, but most adults need approximately 7-8 hours a night.
Do you think you get enough sleep each night? Do you make sleep a priority?
Skin cancer is the most common kind of cancer, accounting for nearly half of all cancers in the U.S. And despite increased awareness of causes,
risk factors and methods of prevention, the rates of skin cancer, including the three major types—basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma—continue to climb. Due in part to the use of tanning beds, rates of melanoma, the deadliest type of
skin cancer, are especially high in young women in their 20s and 30s.
While prevention should be the priority—limiting exposure to sunlight, using sunscreen and avoiding the use of tanning beds—early detection is the next best thing. If detected early, skin cancer is almost always curable.
Britt Hanson, DO, medical oncology at NorthShore, shares some of her tips for identifying skin cancer, including what you should keep an
eye out for during regular self-checks.
What precautions do you take to reduce your risk of skin cancer?
A mutation found in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes puts women at an increased risk for developing breast and ovarian cancer. After learning that both her aunt and mother had the BRCA1 mutation,
Sivan Schondorf was tested for the mutation at 24 years old and discovered that she was also positive. She began frequent surveillance for breast and ovarian cancer immediately. At 28, when she felt that surveillance was no longer enough, she
opted to take control of her risk and undergo a preventative, nipple-sparing mastectomy with reconstruction at NorthShore.
With BRCA1 and BRCA2 in the news, she shares her story so that other women know how to find the correct information about their risks and options.
What were your initial thoughts when you learned you tested positive for the BRCA1/BRCA2 gene mutation?
I was sad and worried to learn I had a BRCA 1 mutation, but I was able to push a lot of that fear aside because I was still years away from the recommended surgery time. I was 24 years old at the time.
What prompted you to get tested for this mutation? And then why did you decide to undergo a risk-reducing, nipple-sparing mastectomy with reconstruction.
My maternal aunt had what is now known as a triple negative BRCA1 breast cancer that metastasized and resulted in her passing before she was 50 years old. Our family OBGYN, Dr. Lapata, had good instincts and recommended that she test for the BRCA mutation.
The red flags being that she had a cancer that was premenopausal and aggressive, and that she was of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.
This was in 2000, so it wasn't something any of us had heard of. Once my aunt tested positive for the mutation, my mother found out she had the mutation as well. I was subsequently tested in 2005 and with a positive result, I opted for surveillance. At 24,
I thought I was years away from any possible surgical interventions; however, after only after three years of surveillance, I felt the threat of cancer looming. I realized that surveillance wasn't protecting me; it was only enabling me to discover it at an
early stage. The only way to significantly lower my risk was mastectomy, so I scheduled my surgery for the next year, which was around my 28th birthday.
The nipple-sparing one-step was the best option for me because it required less surgery than having expansion over time. I was also comfortable keeping my nipples because, aside from the more natural, aesthetic result, research shows that keeping one's nipples
is safe as long as the surgery is done preventatively rather than when cancer is present.
How has this decision impacted your life?
In the very short-term, I felt different from my friends because I was thinking about things that women my age don't normally have to think about. My thoughts were often on my situation. Five years later, as a working mother and wife, I hardly ever
think about it, except at my yearly clinical exam. It's something from my past that I faced head on.
I'm so much more comfortable now that my risk for breast cancer is so much lower. I do still monitor my ovaries at least twice a year. I have not yet pursued surgical intervention because I'm not done having children and do no feel the cost-benefit of beginning
menopause at 31 is worthwhile. I'm looking at having an oopherectomy by age 40.
It's been a few years since you had this surgery. How are you doing?
I'm great! Having a baby (and now expecting my second) has done far more to change my body than the mastectomy did. I don't regret it for a second. I would do anything to improve my chances of being around to see my children grow. I want to be there
for them as long as I possibly can. Clearly, Angelina Jolie felt the same way, and I'm proud to have been one of her trail blazers!
What advice would give to women who are at an increased risk of developing breast cancer?
Every woman comes to a decision and place of acceptance differently. We all have different perceptions of our bodies and what we can and can't live without. Some have lost mothers due to this mutation and some find out about BRCA unexpectedly, without
even knowing about the elevated risk of cancer in their families.
Each woman must decide what level of risk she can live with. After watching my Aunt Linda die so quickly from this insidious disease, and also having my mother as a role model for me when she had her surgery, I decided that surgery at an early age was right
for me. It doesn't mean its right for everyone.
The most important thing is for women to have the most accurate information, which they can get from genetic counselors and doctors. They should also seek support from the local BRCA community so they can make informed decisions and have the emotional support
that a community can provide. FORCE (Facing our Risk of Cancer Empowered) has provided my family with that support, and we try to give back to our community as much as possible.
Is there any other information you'd like to share?
I filmed my surgery process at NorthShore's Evanston Hospital and at home in order to help empower other women and to make the experience more meaningful for myself. Because I'm not a filmmaker, I have not yet been able to edit the hours of footage.
Seeing Angelina Jolie come out to the public has reignited my passion to finish this short film, which I hope will help other women.
There are many rewards but also many responsibilities that come with palliative caregiving. And while many caregivers say that those
rewards make the effort worth it, there is no denying that the responsibilities caregivers shoulder on a daily basis can be stressful. Studies show that between 40-70% of caregivers suffer significant levels of stress and about half of significantly stressed
caregivers meet the criteria for major depression.
Recognizing and celebrating those rewards and learning to acknowledge when stress levels are too high are essential for the physical and mental well-being of all caregivers, both familial and professional.
Michael Marschke, MD, palliative care physician at NorthShore, shares his recommendations on how caregivers can best cope with and manage
Remember that in order to provide quality care to a family member or a client you have to care for yourself too. Once you do, the rewards of caregiving will be that much richer.
Have you ever cared for an elderly or disabled family member? Are you currently employed as a palliative caregiver? If so, how did you cope with stress?

They are everywhere, from drugstores to dedicated brands. It's impossible to miss all the makeup, moisturizers, anti-aging serums and cleansers with the words "natural" and "chemical-free" written in bold on their packaging. But are these "natural" options
any better for your skin than more conventional skincare products? The only way to find out is to ask your skin.
When it comes to skincare, it's what your skin wants and how it reacts to what you put on it that should matter most. Certain skin types are just as likely to react to natural ingredients as they are to non-natural ingredients. Natural also doesn't necessarily
mean the product is safer for your skin or that it will produce more impressive results.
Give any product a month or more to determine its effectiveness. If you like what you see, you might have found a good match. If you react poorly, discontinue use and try all over again with something new.
If using natural products is important to you,
Sarah Kasprowicz, MD, dermatologist at NorthShore University HealthSystem, shares some tips how to find the best product for your skin and what to look out for before buying:
1. Read the ingredients. Make sure to read the ingredient label on all skincare products like you would a food label. It will help you get to know the ingredients you are putting on your skin. The word "natural" doesn't necessarily mean
the product contains only "all natural" ingredients. In fact, it might contain some of the same ingredients as its non-natural counterparts.
2. Keep an eye out for these natural ingredients:
3. Use sunscreen. Always include a sunscreen in your skincare routine. Look for a sunscreen that is labeled as "broad spectrum," which means the product has been tested and proven to protect against deeply penetrating UVA rays and shorter-waved
UVB rays. Zinc oxide, a physical blocker, is considered more "natural" than many of the other ingredients found in sunscreen.
Have you gone natural with your skincare regimen? Why or why not? What's worked for you?
